Boeing is ramping 787 production up to 14 a month.

Good. maybe they will make deals. I doubt it, but maybe they will. Personally I would rather we bought more 350s than 787s, but a lot more 330s would be fine with me.

We do love our boutique airplanes that nobody else wants.

I certainly hope management is thinking that way! Our delivery schedule is however pretty aggressive already. I doubt we could take airframes much faster.

We indeed have unique airplanes that nobody wants. However, I think that small annoyance is worth the 15% PS nobody else has (AA 3%, United 6%)

LOL not even close and you know it.

In any case, Canabus is pretty good. Bamabus also works though.

The 330-900s (25) will be delivered from 2019-2022. That’s an average of just over 6 aircraft a year...not too aggressive. If the price was right I could see Delta jumping on a few more. To me the question is will Airbus really lower the price on the -800 now that Hawaiian opted out. That would really be a boutique airplane!
